How will the Chimp handle pardons for all of the people who have yet to be indicted?

[BuyingThyme]

Do you think he will pioneer new pardon strategies which somehow absolve all of his Cabinet members, aides, operatives, et cetera?

Will he use Ford's pardoning of Nixon as the precedent?

1. Depends who the Dem president is and who the CLOSEST ADVISORS turn out to be.

2. He'll simply invent the "Preemptive Presidential Pardon"...

...and our Democratic "leaders" will let him get away with it.

3. The same way his daddy did with Cap Weinberger...

I not only pardon you for what you're accused of, but for ANYTHING you may have done whilst in office.

4. GOOD QUESTION

I miss Kucinich. :(

5. Without any Apparent Opposition?

6. he can handle it like Ford did

Ford pardoned Nixon before any grand jury indictment.

7. I think he will invent a "Pardon in Perpetuity," which is like a "Get-Out-of-Jail-Free" card

for all his cronies who have yet to be indicted but may be (we can always hope) in the future.

This will absolve them, in advance, for every illegal thing they've done in the past, present or future.

8. I think you may be right.

9. I'm sure he's already got Gonzo and Harriet and Mucus-y thinking on it,

with the total combined brain power of a gnat.

10. The pardon issue is the only thing that might be good about not

indicting now. That way bush won't be president and the Dems can indict without worrying about pardons.
